Just off the top of my head without a second thought and as little effort as possible:Great! Name two or three communists in government, and provide quotes of them proving that by saying they want "total control over all aspects" of the economy - production and distribution.Communism is the final stage of MarxismCan you define "communism"?
In a communist system the state has total control over all aspects of the society - cultural, economic and above all political
The old soviet union and mao’s china came the closest to that
Communism is preceded by socialism which is a loose term with many different expressions
But all sharing a common goal of utopia by government supervision
Nazi Germany for instance
Or post war france and great britian where government took over and managed many private companies and industries while widely expanding the welfare state
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Brennan_(CIA_officer)While a college student, in 1976, he voted for the Communist Party USA candidate for president, Gus Hall. He has later described his vote as a way of "signaling my unhappiness with the system", specifically the partisanship of the Watergate era.
This asshole is technically no longer in government, but if it took so little to find this, please tell me you don't believe this is the only guy.
